Discovery of four new EL CVn-type binaries in the Gaia eclipsing binaries

In this paper, we performed a search for EL CVn-type binaries based on the Gaia and TESS data. Through the combination of the Gaia DR3 eclipsing binary catalogue and the Gaia DR3 spectroscopic binary catalogue, we have identified 13 stars exhibiting EL CVn-like characteristics. Among these stars, nine have already been identified as EL CVn binaries, while the remaining four are newly discovered candidates. The photometric solutions and absolute parameters of the four binary systems were obtained by utilizing TESS photometry and orbital elements from Gaia DR3 spectroscopic binary catalogue. Light-curve modeling has revealed that all four binary systems with a detached configuration exhibit very low mass ratios, approximately q similar or equal to 0.1. The derived physical parameters indicate that the four binary systems are highly probable candidates for being newly discovered EL CVn-type binaries. A preliminary frequency analysis was conducted on the residuals of the light curves, after the removal of binarity effects. The results suggest that the primary component star of TIC 100011519, TIC 219485855 and TIC 464641792 might be a o Sct pulsator. However, TIC 399725538 does not exhibit any intrinsic pulsations.
